Probably it's better to post more verbose summary that describes: - which MI kernel structures/APIs are modified or added - which sources are mainly affected - how many changes are/were required in MD pmap or each file system etc. - which ports / devices are actually tested - related man page in branch - benchmark results etc. > I asked Chuck Silvers to review the branch.
